Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multilateral WTO General Agreement on Tade in Services (GATS), the first set of legally-enforceable rules ever negotiates to cover international trade in services, is now a reality. This Agreement comprises the institutional framework for the many services internationally trades among countries and is intended to insure that each WTO member treat the services and service suppliers of other members no less favourably than its own. One of the most important service secotors covered in the Agreement is tourism, with its crucial role in the economic growth of many countries. This study deals with such services and their role in the economy, with specific reference to tourism and the implications of the legal framework of the GATS and its commitments regarding that sector. An analysis of the tourism secctor, both in its regional sector and international dimensions, is supported with case studies of two ESCWA member countries, Egypt and Jordan, which have made significant progress in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The strongest overview I have encountered of the scope and the current state of research across all the fields involved in advancing our understanding of tourism. For its range of topics, depth of analyses, and distinction of its contributors, nothing is comparable." - Professor Dean MacCannell, University of California, Davis "The breadth of vision and sweep of accounts is remarkable, and range of topics laudable... a rare combination of the authoritative, the challenging and stimulating." - Professor Mike Crang, Durham University Tourism studies developed as a sub-branch of older disciplines in the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and economics, and newer applied fields of study in hospitality management, civil rights and transport studies. This Handbook is a sign of the maturity of the field. It provides an essential resource for teachers and students to determine the roots, key issues and agenda of tourism studies, exploring: The evolution and position of tourism studies The relationship of tourism to culture The ecology and economics of tourism Special events and destination management Methodologies of study Tourism and transport Tourism and heritage Tourism and postcolonialism Global tourist business operations Ranging from local to global issues, and from questions of management to the ethical dilemmas of tourism, this is a comprehensive, critically informed, constructively organized overview of the field. It draws together an inter-disciplinary group of contributors who are among the most celebrated names in the field and will be quickly recognized as a landmark in the new and expanding field of tourism studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical tourism is one of the major sectors amongst the trade in services that has been growing significantly the world over particularly with the establishment of General Agreement of Trade in Services (GATS) under WTO. This sector falls under Mode II - known as “Consumption Abroad” of GATS. India is the cynosure of Medical Tourists (MTs) amongst its competing countries, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Hong Kong, Philippines, Cuba, Hungary, Israel, Jordan, Lithuania, etc. Ahmedabad in the State of Gujarat is one of the major centres in India, in addition to Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkatta, etc., where MTs have been coming for treatment in growing numbers. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the opinions and ratings for the quality and cost of various medical facilities availed by these MTs who had visited various hospitals in Ahmedabad for their treatment from various parts of the world e.g., US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, Korea, UAE, Africa, Sri Lanka, etc. In addition, the paper defines and describes the various issues related to medical tourism, such as GATS and Mode II-Consumption Abroad; Medical tourism with its historical perspective, its present scenario and reasons for medical travel; Opportunities and challenges for this sector of Indian industry and suggests the strategy i.e. entrepreneurial responsiveness and policy implications so that the Gujarat State as also the nation as a whole could get a larger pie of this growing global trade in services.
